BOTOX® Injections Denver, CO

When it comes to injectables, BOTOX® is practically a household name. This wrinkle relaxer is designed to relax the movement of facial muscles that, when contracted, cause wrinkling. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscle to contract, thus preventing the skin from wrinkling. Some of the more common areas of treatment include moderate to severe crow’s feet and frown lines.

Description

Details

BOTOX® cosmetic is the only treatment approved by the FDA to temporarily reduce the appearance of both moderate to severe crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyebrows and fine lines and wrinkles. When injected into the muscle, BOTOX® blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny muscles in your face. This action inhibits the muscles that have been contracting hundreds of times each day and creating lines in the skin. By weakening these muscles, they don’t contract fully and the wrinkles on your face soften.

Depending upon the areas being treated, you will likely need to purchase between 20 and 60 units of BOTOX®. Use the guide below for a general idea of how many units you can expect to purchase.

Glabella – 20-25 units

Eyes – 15-25 units

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX® is made of a purified Botulinum toxin, and while the idea of injecting a toxin into your face may sound a little daunting, it has actually been approved by the FDA for a wide variety of uses, including migraines, excessive sweating and, of course, anti-aging. BOTOX® is an extremely effective treatment for softening lines between the brow and at edges of the eyes.

How does BOTOX® work?

BOTOX® is injected directed into tiny muscles in the face, blocking the nerve signals that are causing the muscles to contract and your face to wrinkle. As a result, the wrinkles relax and soften.

Will I look like I’ve had work done?

This is a big fear for many people. While BOTOX® has become a household name, patients have seen too many pictures of botched results where celebrity faces appear to be frozen in place. The reality is that, like many cosmetic procedures, the results are largely dependent upon the person administering the injections.

You shouldn’t lose the ability to show expressions if you’re treated by a licensed, trained, and experienced professional. This is why it’s essential to do your research and discuss the results you’re looking for with your specialist.

Are treatments safe?

BOTOX® injections are both a safe and effective treatment for reversing the visible signs of aging.

What are the common side effects of BOTOX®?

While side effects are certainly not common, three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in studies where frown lines were being treated. In studies where crow’s feet were being treated, one percent of the patients experienced some swelling in the eyelid.

Some other possible side effects include pain or discomfort at the site of the injection; dry mouth; fatigue; headache; neck pain; and vision problems, such as double or blurred vision, decreased eyesight and dry eyes. There is also a small risk for allergic reactions.

Do the treatments hurt?

BOTOX® treatments are relatively pain free, although some patients report feeling a pinch as the injections are administered. If you’re worried about experiencing pain, speak to your practitioner about applying a topical numbing cream or even ice to the area before treatment.

How is BOTOX® different than dermal fillers?

BOTOX® is used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as frowning or squinting. Fillers, on the other hand, treat static wrinkles and enhance volume. Static wrinkles are usually not improved by BOTOX® injections, which is why your health practitioner may recommend a combination of BOTOX® and fillers to help you achieve the best possible results.

How long does BOTOX® last and how often should I receive injections.

BOTOX® is a temporary procedure, so your results won’t last forever. You can anticipate that they will last up to three to four months. We recommend that you come back into our office for a treatment as the BOTOX® begins to wear off.

How long do the treatments take?

BOTOX® treatments are a very simple procedure when done by an experienced professional. Treatments shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes, which means you can be in and out of the office in no time!

What are treatments like?

A very small amount of BOTOX® is injected into the muscles of your face using a fine needle. Because the needle is so small the pain should be minimal.

Will I start to see results from my BOTOX® treatments immediately?

Unfortunately, you won’t see immediate results after your treatments. However, you may begin to see results as early as 24 to 48 hours after your treatment if you have moderate to severe frown lines. It can take up to two weeks for the full results to gradually appear.

How long is the recovery period for BOTOX®?

You should be able to return to your normal activities immediately, although it’s recommended that you abstain from exercise for four to six hours following treatment.

Who are the best candidates for BOTOX®?

While BOTOX® is a very safe and effective treatment, it isn’t for everyone. The best candidates are people who are healthy with no history of neuromuscular disease, who aren’t pregnant or nursing, and who are at least 18 years of age. You should not receive Botox if you have weakness in the muscles you want to target, drooping eyelids, deep facial scaring, very thick facial skin, marked asymmetry of the face, or skin disorders where the injection will take place.

Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are pre-existing before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months

Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms including: loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities

The dose of BOTOX® Cosmetic is not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.

There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect when BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines, crow's feet lines, or both at the same time.

Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported. They include: itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you are wheezing or have asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or faint.

Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing from typical doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including: plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face; weakness of forehead muscles, such as trouble raising your eyebrows; drooping eyelids; any other abnormal facial change; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby); are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic passes into breast milk).

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Using BOTOX® Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX® Cosmetic in the past.

Especially tell your doctor if you: have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin, such as Myobloc®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® in the past (be sure your doctor knows exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.
